The Fort Union era is linked to blood feuds with the Deschamps and Rem families. After conspiracies and killings at the fort and Fort William, the Deschamps were hunted down, battles burned houses, and the spree at Christmas time prompted severe punishments, including lashes for two convicted murderers.
